Touching Reflection

Naturally my attraction to this image comes from the blossom and by how much it stands out against the dark leaves and background. Taken quite late in the evening under an overcast sky, still I had to be careful to keep my highlights from losing detail.

Of course the still reflections add further interest to the scene, but I'm also interested in how the bush hangs out over the water creating a dark void behind. I'm sure I saw the geese with their young withdraw to safety up the bank here.
